I understand that today is a federal holiday and all, but I am skeptical that hockey can draw in this market on a Friday afternoon given the problems it has getting people in arena on a Friday night. It is not like a baseball game where at least you get to sit outdoors. That being said, if I was not so busy at work, I might have taken half a day to see for myself.

If you feel like playing hooky, the game starts at 1:00 p.m. at the Phonebooth.
